GRRL! SUMMARY:
- AISHWARYA PISSAY just rewrote the history books, becoming the first Indian and Asian woman to finish the brutal Rallye du Maroc while claiming both the Women’s category victory and World Rally-Raid Championship silver. We’re talking about 2,299 kilometers of Morocco’s most unforgiving terrain – the kind of race that breaks machines and spirits in equal measure.
- This isn’t beginner’s luck – it’s PISSAY’s fourth World Title, cementing her status as India’s most successful female racer and proving that consistency beats flash every time. Racing as a privateer with TVS Racing backing, she showed the kind of professional grit that makes other competitors take notes.
- The timing couldn’t be more perfect as PISSAY builds toward Dakar 2026, using Morocco as her ultimate proving ground. With eleven National Championships already in her collection, she’s not just representing India and Asia – she’s redefining what’s possible for women in rally-raid racing on the world’s biggest stages.
UPCOMING:
- Dakar Rally 2026
- World Rally-Raid Championship 2025 season finale
